The Dandelion

Who among us has never picked a dandelion and made a wish while blowing the white puffy seed heads off its stem?

The more seeds that blew in the wind, the better.  And with our wishes came hope, anticipation, and the sense that all things were possible in that moment. Dandelions have long been associated with happiness, simple joys, and good luck.  I figured what better place to start your journey than with a wish for more from a hardy plant that colonizes with great ease and abundance.  It is a symbol of pure and unabashed perseverance.

The "elixir of life" is how folk medicine describes the dandelion. A multifaceted flower that has been used for centuries to treat all kinds of ailments and health issues, providing relief to those who suffer; rising above what gardeners describe as a "weed" in an otherwise perfect yard. In this flower, in its unconventional beauty, flawless transformation, unparalleled process of becoming itself, we make wishes .... and believe they can come true.

A LifePulse 

In my world, a lifepulse is something you need, something you do, want to do, dream about, miss, have, or get excited about whether you're actively engaging this something or talking about it. It's the activity that gets your blood pumping, makes you lose track of time, or "feeds" you on a level unlike other things.  It also can be a desire for something that feels as though it would complete you and make you happy in a way that only you can understand.  Your lifepulse makes you hum with joy and gives the people around you a glimpse of one of the most important dimensions of your being. It's how you might identify yourself when asked, "who are you" because it's that important to the very core of your being.

A Process

A process begins with a real intention behind it, a purpose, with the expectation of a result.  A process seeks to discover, illuminate, understand, and resolve a condition of being.  And every process, from mechanical to emotional, involves a series of actions that happen in a relatively consistent fashion to yield a particular result. While some processes are simple and straightforward, others require a specific mindset and maturity to navigate the steps necessary to reach what is being sought.  In other words, sometimes you have to work for the outcome you want when what you want goes beyond your comfort zone, pushes you to be "better," do "more" or stretch for your dreams.

​

ALSO....It's imperative that you know this. 

​

Your life is all about choices, whether you accept this truth or not. The good and the bad usually have some direct line that leads right back to you and a choice that you made (or didn't make, by default).  NOT always, as there are exceptions to every rule. BUT USUALLY. 

​

​

Power of Choice:  You get to choose….

​

  • How you want to live your life. Some of you may not think you do, for various reasons, but chances are your choices put you where you are today.

​

  • What you value most (in this moment)...and ONLY in this moment because it changes ALL the time.

​

  • How you want your core values to show up in your life or what they will look like, sound like, and feel like.

​

  • Why, when, where, with whom, and how often you want to engage in the things that really matter to you.

​

​

​

You ALSO have the power to choose....

 

  • If you want to commit to the core value, the lifepulse, you discover in this workshop and make it a priority, or not.  Again, it's all okay, whatever you choose. Just saying…

​

  • If you are ready to live life fully as your own self, being every bit of you, every day, or not. 

​

  • If you want to engage The Lifepulse Process, challenge yourself to dig deep, and perhaps discover something new about your SELF that can lead to a greater sense of joy, fulfillment, peace, or sense of satisfaction because it is MEANINGFUL to YOU.   

​

We’re a culmination of our choices. And this truth is empowering... you get to take responsibility for yourself, your life, and what you make of it.  

​

​

​

You can choose action. You can choose change. 

                        You can choose more of what you need to be happy.  

​

​

​

​

​

YOU CAN CHOOSE YOU. 

​

​

REMEMBER, it’s okay WHAT you decide as long as you recognize the fact that you are deciding.​
